Pair jailed for nine years each after £250,000 of drugs found at Temple Hill house
Comments |
Two men from Dartford have been jailed for a total of 18 years
for peddling class A drugs.
Kevin Palmer, 44, and Steven Smith,
47, were charged after police found drugs with a street value of
more than £250,000 in a Dartford house.
Officers discovered 5kg of cannabis
resin, 5kg of herbal cannabis, 1.5kg of cocaine, amphetamines and
LSD at the Temple Hill property last August.
Palmer, of Green Street Green Road,
and Smith, of Hilltop Gardens, were each jailed for nine years at
Maidstone Crown Court on Tuesday after admitting possessing
class A drugs with intent to supply.
Police were alerted to the drugs den,
in Hilltop Gardens, after a tip-off from a member of the
public.
Det Sgt Karl Thomas, of the North Kent
Police drugs team, said: "These men were seriously affecting the
life of the local community through supplying illegal drugs.
"We are pleased with the length of the
sentences and expect them to serve as a deterrent to those who
peddle drugs in our community."
Police also found more than £19,000
cash, which they will try to recover under the Proceeds of Crime
Act.
